Hunts County, commonly shortened to County, is a sports equipment and apparel company founded by the Trimmins family in 1904 based in Huntingdon, Cambridgeshire, England that specialises in cricket.[1] The company produces cricket clothing and equipment such as bats, balls, helmet, batting gloves, protective gear, athletic shoes, and bags.

Overview[edit]

The company still make all of their bats individually by hand at two separate factories in Cambridgeshire.[2] From the 1960s County bats were some of the most widely used and recognised bats in cricket, with television spectators seeing County's encircled 'C' used by professional cricketers.[3]

Endorsements[edit]

A multitude of professional cricketers have had endorsement deals with the company over the years. Australian batsman Dean Jones used a County bat in his early career including during the 1987 Cricket World Cup.[4]
